Abstrakt: This paper describes an infrared spectroscopic study of the adsorption of methanol, ethanol, acetaldehyde, ethylene, and water on two samples of yttrium oxide, one of which had dehydrating properties and the other, dehydrogenating properties. The occurrence of different surface compounds during the dehydration and dehydrogenation of alcohols is shown. Possible mechanisms for the decomposition of alcohols are discussed.
